MISSION 1- American Embasy in Timor Tips- 1. Smoke may conceal you, but fire is VERY BRIGHT. 2. Broken glass is very noisy if you walk on it. My best- 1 terrorist KOed Part 1- The Basics If you need me to guide you through the first part of this, you probably pirated the game and I have no sympathy for you. If you have the manual, read it, and check the little hint panels throughout the level. The only place I had trouble is when the hint is telling you about how to press up against walls. When it says this, you are meant to press up against the fence furthest from you when you enter, and squeeze between it and the nearby building. You will then come to your first guard. What the game wants you to do is use the ″SWAT turn″ (or as I like to call it, ″The Squatting Ballerina Turn″) to move to the other side of the fence, then shoot out the lantern. Once you\'ve done that, it\'s a simple matter to either elbow the guard into next week, or just sneak past him. Alternatively, you can just sneak up behind him and grab him or elbow him without wasting a bullet. Just make sure the body is in shadow when you leave. Turn on your thermos as soon as the game hints for you to do so, and bypass the first clutch of mines by crawling under the nearby deck, and the second by climbing up the box on the left and shimmying along the rail. In the next section, keep an eye on the guard on the right. You can whistle to summon him, the hide by the truck, and bonk-ify him, or simply be careful and move under the bridge, avoiding him entirely. Whatever you do, don\'t drag his body into the stream. He will drown, and YOU will be blamed. Next, the game will want you to interogate a guard. Do so, and drag him back and to the left while he\'s talking. Drop him in the shadows, and wait for his friend to come and look for him. Eventually the friend will go back inside his hut, where he will sit with his back to the door. Feel free to knock him out if you want. You can advance to the next part by either climbing the pipe, or doing the triple jump trick midway in the alley. Part 2- An Old Friend Climb up the scaffolds the obvious way, then say Hi to Mr. Learning Curve! You have to crouch and press against the wall to pass under the window with the guard with the binoculars. Continue on, whether or not you wait for Sadono to finish his talk, being careful to avoid the broken glass. Press against the wall and use the Ballerina turn to pass the doorway, if Sadono is still in it. Once you climb around the edge of the building, drop in front of the window, crouch, and open it to sneak inside. You can also keep climbing around to a balcony, but some- times the guard on the next balcony over spots you. Once inside, bonk the guard (or turn off the lights first, to mess with him) and talk to Douglas. From here, you have two choices. The door on the right takes you past the other balcony guard. You can knock him out easily enough. The door past him contains a medkit. If you go this way, and try to sneak down the corridor behind him, be advised he does OCCASIONALLY turn and look behind him. You can usually avoid detection by just ducking into the next room, but if you\'re trying to avoid disturbing any enemies, the other path is easier. The door behind Douglas takes you to the room with the hostages. You can just sneak right through here to the next room, or you can lay out the guard since he\'s not facing you, and never moves. Just be careful of the glass. As always, be sure to hide the body if you decide to drop him. Part 3- Downstairs Downstairs there are 3 guards. It\'s quite tricky to keep track of the patrolling one, since the smoke blocks your sight and nightvision, and the fire obscures thermograph- ics. I find this room much easier if you shoot out the chandelier at the top of the stairs on your way down. Once downstairs, the patrolling guard will probably be standing with his back to you, but will move away too quickly for you to get him. If you want to see some seriously screwed up object physics, try shooting the chandelier in the middle of this room. Watch it dance! I even made it pass through the ceiling! If you\'re trying to be uber-stealthy, go to the far, right side of the room, and sneak between the wall and the bar. Follow the patroller, staying very close to the fire. Not TOO close, unless you want roast Sam for lunch, but close enough that the smoke helps obscure you. Eventually, he\'ll turn to come back, but by then you should be in the shadows with your back against the wall. I don\'t reccomend using the bottle to distract him and trying to sneak by. It tends to alert all 3 guards, and there\'s just too much light in this room to have that many eyes searching for you. Alternatively, you can take out the first guard. Make sure you shoot the light at the top of the stairs, and wait by the painting leaning up agains the chair. When the guy comes back, he\'ll turn his back to you, and you know what THAT means. Grab Attack! Solomon Grundy would be proud. Of course, whistling and throwing the bottle into a dark corner work too, but why risk alerting multiple guards when he so kindly presents his back for bonking? Now, you\'re in the far, right corner of the room. The easiest way to pass is to shoot out the nearest light. The guards will be alerted, and will look around, but often they don\'t even look in the right direction. Alternatively, you can throw the bottle back toward the stairs, then use the Squatting Balerina Turn to pass between the last few pillars and that little chest of drawers. If you really want to knock these guys out, it can be done. I threw a bottle at one from the shadows, and his friend saw the bottle, but not me. Oddly enough, he didn\'t wake his friend, or raise the alarm, but rather came to investigate. Once he was in the shadows with me, I introduced him to Mr. Elbow. Part 4- Blinded by the light Walk forward until you hear Lambert\'s speech about the searchlight. What the game wants you to do hear is to sneak through the courtyard, staying in the center of the searchlights. They move slowly enough, so it\'s not that hard. There is another way, however. After you hear Lambert\'s speech, pull out your pistol. Aim it at the guard on the balcony, and turn on the laser. The guard will eventually notice, and turn around to investigate. This is your cue to stow the gun and cross the courtyard. Do it quickly, at a full crouch-run, because he comes back pretty fast. Either way, there\'s two ways up. The obvious door, and some pipes on the front of the tower. If you use the pipes, pay attention to the guard. He DOES occasionally look to his sides, and he can spot you. Also, be SURE to use a soft landing when you drop from the ledge onto the balcony. If you went in the door, and used the laser trick to cross the courtyard, be careful going up the stairs. Sometimes it takes the guard a while to calm back down, and he may be looking in your direction. Either way, once in, he\'s yours to do with as you wish. After you talk to the translater, you can shoot the balcony guard if you like, and then make your exit. You can either go back down the stairs to the back door, or out the window and rappel down the building. Part 5- Ladders and lanterns Now that you can kill people, you probably don\'t need much help getting through the rest of the mission. Wait in the shadows until the guards come close, and use the laser sight to headshot them. If you want to leave them alive, you\'ll have to shoot some lights instead. Start with the lantern atop the searchlight control tower. This will probably panic the guard, but you can ignore him and climb the ladder to shut off the searchlight. Nexting to the next area is a little tricker. You can either stick to the shadows, and time your movements carefully to get through, or shoot out the lights above the deck on the left and go up there. Once around, shoot the lantern on the tower, climb it, and disable the searchlight. The guard here will eventually walk halfway back to the first area, so you can safely bypass him when he does that. If you follow my suggestions, the only enemy killed or KOed so far will be the guy guarding Douglas. MISSION 2- Saulnier Cryogenics Tips- 1. Spend some time in the tunnels getting used to the SC-20K 2. Small metal discs with red lights are motion detectors. Walk very slowly. 3. Cameras can be shot out with one well-placed bullet. My best- 2 terrorists KOed 1 innocent dead OR 2 terrorists KOed 3 terrorists dead Part 1- The tunnels Well, I\'m sure you\'re dying to try out that fancy rifle of yours, so go ahead and tag this first guard in the face. Feeling merciful? He\'ll start walking towards your position. Sneak past him on the left, accelerating as you get some distance between you, and jump up to the ladder on the back of train car. You should be able to climb up to the shadows before he sees you. If you\'re having trouble with the timing, try sniping the light above the ladder and/or the lantern near your start position. Watch and you\'ll notice him walk halfway along the train on the raised walkway, then go back. As soon as he\'s gone, drop into the car through the hole, and scurry to the end. You\'d better wait for the 2nd train to go past so the next two guards don\'t see you in its light. It\'s actually easier to sneak by these guys than to kill them, but I\'ll walk you through both. To sneak, go through the second car until you hear them talking. Drop down softly from near the left hand edge onto the tracks, so that you\'re nestled in the corner betweem the train and the walking platform. After they walk past you, climb up on the platform to your left. One of them will stand in the car behind you and look in your direction. Wait for him to turn his back, and sneak at 2 clicks or so down the hall. Accelerate as you get further away. The stealthiest way to kill them is to get into the position mentioned above, then shoot the guy who stands in the back of the train car just as he\'s about to walk away. This way, his friend will be far enough away that he won\'t hear it. Now you can mantle onto the walkway and snipe the other guy. Alternatively, you can waste a diversion camera, smoke grenade or frag grenade on them, since those items aren\'t really useful elsewhere on this mission. Shoot the wheel handles to put out the fire. Part 2- The basement The guard in the next room usually starts right by the door, and will investigate it if it opens when he\'s close. Luckily, it\'s so dark he won\'t be able to see you, and you can just slink right by him, or bonk him in the face. If you opt to leave him alive, sneak up to the bookshelf and jump up to grab the top. For optimal sneakiness, be about 2 feet out from the wall, so the little wall lights can\'t illuminate you. Soft-land drop off, then crawl through the lower, right hand gap in the next shelf. The third shelf has a similar gap about in the middle. Make sure the guard is on the far side of the room and crawl through it and out the door. The next room of interest features three guards who fan out and search for you. You can safely cross the room in the pools of shadow on the left. If you do this quickly enough, right when you enter the room, the three guards will emerge and you can simply sneak out behind them. If you really want to take them out, do what I say above, and grab the third and final soldier from behind. Drag him into the corner and drop him, and the other two won\'t know what to do. They\'ll just stand there for eternity. You can sideswipe the one in the stands by sticking to the walls, and then take out the guy in the center of the room in the manner of your choosing. Not stealthy enough? You can also cross the room using a pipe to the left side of the door. You\'ll have to pull Sam\'s legs up tp clear the cabinets. The only problem is that by the time you get to the other side, the remaining guards tend to be watching the door. However, if they think they spot you, and come to investigate, you can just move on to the next part of the level with impunity. They don\'t come out into the hall. Once you\'re past them, you get to the unavoidable combat. Just pop up and shoot the first guy as quickly as you can, then duck and wait for the other to make himself obvious. If you\'d rather do it with minimal risk, crouch-run to the doorway. You can sneak quickly inside as soon as the close guard has his back to you. Grab him, then very quickly turn your gun on his friend, and drop him with a headshot using the laser sight. For even more safety, turn out the lights. This causes both guards to develop psychic powers, so it\'s extremely hard to sneak up on them, but you can safely snipe them both with impunity, either using bullets or ringfoils/shockers if you\'re trying to avoid kills. Be aware that they tend to make a bee line for the target computer when the lights go out, so you must be swift. If you want to make the next part easier, shoot out the lights in the hall before going in and using the computer. Once you\'ve gotten to the bomb scare part, there\'ll be two guards in the hall. Creep towards them, and one will leave, and the other will take up position at the corner. You can easily shoot him or sneak behind him and elbow. If you didn\'t bother to shoot out the hall lights previously, just wait til the 2nd guard leaves, and snipe the guy at the corner from the safety of the shadows. It IS possible to get past these guys without violence, but it requires a lot of luck. Shoot out the hall lights before using the computer, then immediately move down the left side of the corridor, at a brisk pace, 5 clicks or so, crouched. When you reach the door into the boiler room, one guard will emerge and speak to the other. They will then both walk away from the boiler room. Sneak inside at no more than 2 clicks. If you\'re lucky, and you didn\'t alert them at all, you should be able to get over to the far left corner of the room and wait until the door closes. Sometimes, espcially if alerted, the guards will notice you in here despite there being no possible line of sight, but it IS possible to sneak in here. Once the bomb is disabled, you can easily sneak past the remaining guard, if he\'s still alive. Open the door, and it will shield you from him, and as soon as you step out you\'re in shadow again. Just go around behind him. Part 3- Of servers and searchlights Immediately around the corner, you\'ll find three guys shooting at God knows what. When finished, two leave and one patrols the hall. The easiest thing to do is press against the wall, lean out, and shoot him in the face. There are a couple ways to do the next part. **METHOD A- Die, lights, die! Take out the guard in the hall in the manner of your choosing. Now go to the broken window, and shoot out all the lights in the room o\' cameras. You have to make sure your shots go between the two sets of blinds. You CANNOT fire though gaps between slats, and the slats themselves are bulletproof. Once the lights are out, go through the door on the left, and you should see a guard head into the room on the right, where you need to go. You can follow him, and either take him out, or avoid him. Both should be easy, since it\'s so dark in there. Use the computer and make your way out the other side. **METHOD B- Die, guards, die! Take out the guard in the hall in the manner of your choosing. Go to the control room, which should contain 2 enemies. Kill them both, but be advised that you have to shoot the window before putting anything through it. You can\'t break it with a thrown grenade like in Raven Shield. Just opening the door and quickly shooting both in the head works, or you can use a grenade or other toy through the window. Now that the camera-monitoring guard is dead, it won\'t count against you when the cameras spot you. The alarm will sound, but nobody seems to care, and it doesn\'t count toward your total. **METHOD c- Squeaky clean As soon as the first guard in the hall turns away, sneak over to the right hand door and use a disposable pick. If you\'re REALLY feeling studly, try picking it by HAND before he turns back towards you. Hey, I did it. Either way, open it and sneak into the next hall. Here, shoot out the small light to the right of the door into the server room. Once it\'s out, use the cable on the door to see which way the central camera is facing. The camera CAN spot your optic cable if you don\'t shoot out that one light. When it\'s facing away, sneak in, and break right, hugging the wall. With a little care, you can make it to the computer you need without being spotted, since you\'re under the blind spot of most of the cameras, and in decent shadow. On your way back out, just make sure the central camera is facing away from you. Alternatively, you can shoot out the central camera, but that tends to bring a guard, and it\'s hard to time, especially because that damn camera SEES YOUR OPTIC CABLE! Either way, you can completely ignore the two guards in the security office. It\'s sort of ridiculously easy when you know how, isn\'t it? On to the next room. Shut off the spotlight, and the guard will come to look. Once he does, you can either sneak past him to the stairs, or take him out. No real alternative method for this section, unless you want to shoot him through the window. Make sure to fire twice! In the stairs, wait for the door to close if the guard behind you is still awake. At the top of the stairs, we have a wall mine and a camera. I think it\'s a bit unfair that they expect you to know how wall mines work, since there\'s no explanation in this game. Guess you\'d better have played the last one. Anyway, we can easily solve both our problems here with one bullet; Just shoot the wall mine. Alternatively, creep up the stairs 1/3 of the way, so you\'re still in shadow, and use your camera-jammer. Walk up under the camera using the jammer, then disarm the wall mine. Wait for the camera to face the other way before darting up the stairs. Part 4- Lobby and beyond The lobby is pretty easy. Just beware that there is a guard on the far side of the room who is somewhat hard to see. As soon as you open the door, start sneaking out to the left, and hide in the shadows near the 2 couches. One guard will check his email, and the other will walk into the hall in the back. The easy path is probably to grab the email guard, and use him as a shield while you shoot the other. The sneaky way is to wait until the further guard turns toward the back hall, and sneak out to the computer. Use it while he either looks out the front door, or checks the corpse. Now sneak into the shadows over by the left hand couches, and move back toward the phone. Eventually, the guard in the hall will reemerge and head over to the front left side of the room. As he does this, the other one will go back to the computer. This is your cue to sneak toward the back hall, but there\'s a catch; The pay phone rings as you pass it. You can avoid this by shooting the phone earlier, but it\'s hard to do that without being heard. If you just wait for a bit in the first pool of shadow in the hall, eventually a guard will shoot the phone, and they will both face away from you. The easiest way through the lobby, of course, is to just remember the code from a prior game and sneak straight to the keypad. It\'s sort of cheating, but it\'s fast, and you get to pretend Sam is psychic. After the brain room, you\'ll be in a freezy area, and will need to use your thermo goggles to see. The guard here faces away from you, so you can really have your kinky way with him if you want, including turning off the enemy-friendly recognition on the auto-turret, and letting it mow him down. There\'s no need, however. Just walk by him for maximum imaginary stealth points. In the next room, the easy way is probably to shoot out the light above you, thus luring one guard. Take him out, then use your thermo sight to target his friend. For a stealthier option, hop off the ledge to the left of the door, and shimmy your way to the other end. Be sure to dodge the spurts of Freezy-Gas (tm) on your way. The strange thing is, the guards hear you shimmying. They\'ll start looking around, and you can just dangle from the ledge until both walk back past you to the right, into the room you just crossed. Once, they both managed to set off the wall mine in the next room while searching for me. Way to go, guys! Speaking of wall mines, either sneak past it or disarm it, and head into the next room where you\'re looking for a bookshelf on the right-hand wall. There\'s an opening in the roof above, so climb up to it. Alas, these three guys HAVE to die. Eventually, you will have to shoot the handle behind them to shut off the Freezy-Gas so you can escape, and that WILL kill them, even if you knock them out previously with a smoke grenade or diversion camera. Shame, really. Anyway, since they have to die, they might as well die as cheaply as possible, so just wait and get them later. Visit Francois, and then, when the timer starts, climb back into the vent and shoot the now-steaming handle behind them on the left. You can now make your escape. The only other option, if you can call it that, is to go back through the vent to the prior room. You can escape the explosion in here. The three terrorists will run away, meaning that you avoid killing or knocking them out, but Francois will die and Lambert will yell at you. Technically, it means less kills, if you\'re trying to minimize them, but I think killing 1 innocent is a LOT sloppier than killing 3 terrorists. Take your pick. It doesn\'t seem to have an affect on gameplay. The only people I had to kill/KO were the two guys destroying computers, and these 3 at the end. MISSION 3- Paris-Nice Train Tips- 1. Don\'t try jumping when on the roof of the train. 2. Innocents can be a real pain here. They won\'t pooch the mission, but they will often scream so loud the enemies will hear. My best- 0 kills or KOs It doesn\'t matter whether you hop down through the hatches, or crawl all the way to the end of the car. A dog will bark at you if you drop through the hatches, but nobody seems to care. Well, except the dog. Once you reached the first car with bipedal inhabitants, you need to get to the hatch in the floor. The easiest way is to whistle, and bring the conductor to you. You can elbow, or grab him. He can be interrogated for useful info. Unlike the demo, this guy does have an alarm pad, so be careful not to let him see you, or alarm him too often. The trick to getting through clean involves an easy-to-miss space in the center of the central shelving unit which Sam can hide in. If you approach it from the right, you can generally get there without being seen. The conductor walks between 3 points. Two of them face you, and one faces the coffee maker to the right. When he starts walking over there, sneak out of your cubby hole, and go through the hatch. Timing is tough, because it takes Sam so damn long to climb down, so wait a little while before celebrating your success. Once done climbing along the pipe, use the optic cable to make sure the coast is clear and climb up. I like to shoot out the light in this room, but, as you may have noticed, I like shooting lights in general. If you wait a while, for the NPCs to finish their chat, you shouldn\'t need to, but it does increase your margin for error. There\'s two ways to do the next part- **METHOD A- Shimmy like the WIND! Use the switch to unlock the side doors, and then exit this room. Turn left and climb out the left-hand door to a pipe. Go up it, and shimmy along the side of the train. The trick here is to pass the windows when nobody is looking, AND when not lit up by the extra-bright track lamps. Hang there a while, and you\'ll notice that only some of the lampposts along the track actually shed light. There\'s no set pattern to this, but avoid crossing a window when one is coming. At the first window, the large man with the book will be watching, but he\'ll eventaully go away. The next window is pretty safe, but the third has a woman who only looks away for a brief moment. Try to keep an eye on her movements, AND the lamps so you can start moving when she looks away, and yet make it all the way past her window before the next lamp comes. The next window has a terrorist, but he\'s only half-awake, so you\'ll be fine as long as you\'re not lit up by a lamp. The last window has no observers. It helps if you didn\'t already alert the terrorists by being half-spotted, or heard, or by turning off the lights. **METHoD B- Some like it dark Exit your little room and turn off the lights. Sneak into the car and tuck yourself behind the seat on the right. Eventually the guy with the book will come and try to turn the lights back on. Grab him, drag him behind the seat, and knock him out. You can now move through the car with impunity, as long as you avoid the pools of light. And sneak. It means knocking out an innocent, but it\'s a lot less frustrating than scaling the outside of the train. If you\'re feeling frisky, you can also whistle to attract a terrorist once the lights are out for good. If you can hide from him between seats, and get behind him, you can take him out, and then simply elbow his friend where he sits. Both have satchels for you. You can also bonk up some passengers if you really want to. Next you have to wait for the conductor to finish talking, and then use your Ninja Squatting Ballerina Move to pass the open door. If you didn\'t interogate the first conductor, you can locate Soth by using the optic cable through the doors on thermal mode. Go in and talk to him. As soon as you regain control, use the computer, then follow Soth. When he reaches the bar car, veer right behind the bar, and whip out your laser mic. Point it at his head. Right. It\'s a joke. When he\'s done flapping his gums, you can increase your bodycount if you want by grabbing the soldier that leaves with him. It\'ll save you having to deal with him later. Just be careful when you do it so that Soth doesn\'t hear you. On your way out, you\'ll sneak behind one last soldier. You can take him out now if you want. Stash his body in the bar if you do. Once you reach the next car, the last two soldiers will come after you. You can either hide behind some machinery, and shoot them as they come through the door, or just run to the ladder and get out of there. Or, if you took them out in the prior car like I mentioned, then you don\'t have to worry about them. There\'s no way to take out the helicopter, so just run. When you make it to the end, turn the camera, and you\'ll see the Osprey shoot the helicopter down. So... shooting Soth is BAD, but blowing him up is GOOD? So far, this is the only mission I\'ve been able to do 100% clean. MISSION 4- Jerusalem Tips- 1. I reccomend you don\'t read further ahead in this mission than you have gotten. 2. Again, civilians are a pest because they fetch cops. If you set off a civie, don\'t be there by the time he gets back. 3. I hope you like doing ninja stealth turns! 4. If you like using projectiles (shockers, ringfoils, etc) save them for the end. My best- 2 thieves KOed 6 mercenaries killed 1 mercenary KOed Part 1- Sammy get you gun Head up the stairs and turn nightvision on. There\'s a cop ahead of you in the dark. You need to go left. The first lit doorway on your left has a man looking out it, so press against the wall and do the Squat Turn across the doorway. It doesn\'t really matter if one or two guards start searching for you. This area is so open, and so dotted with shadows, that you can easily get away from them and hide in the darkness if you need to. You can also get past that door by climbing up on the awning across from it, and sliding down the wire nearby. For some reason, Sam won\'t grab it if you jump. You can have to walk off the awning in the wire\'s direction. Be sure to pull your feet up to avoid the light. A little further down the road, we come to a large window on the left emitting light. You can most easily pass it by moving behind the boxes on the right. Around the corner and down the stairs, you\'ll see a cop on a pool of light. Past him, behind the postcard store (why doesn\'t Sam pick one up for Coen? He said he would.) is the first of many red herring alley ways. You can half-split jump here, but there\'s no place to jump to. Follow the cop when he leaves, then stick to the shadows on the left of this area as you cross to the far left corner. Eventually, the cop will start to leave, and the two gents will go to sit down. Be careful! On his way out, the cop sort of bumps into the two men, which momentarily turns him toward you, so wait until he\'s past them to sneak out of here. The two men will not see you. There\'s plenty of shadow for you to use to make it through this part of the road, but the easiest thing to do is climb the pipe in the right-hand corner. Slide down the rope at the top, and you\'ll be clinging to a ledge. You can drop off here if you want, and make your way to the left on foot after the man has emerged from that area, but it is easier to shimmy around the corner, then drop to a lower ledge. From here, you can drop to the next ledge down, and then to the ground, putting you behind a box. There\'s a bottle here, but you won\'t need it. Unless you have to tinkle, I guess. Any- way, just press against the box, and use your Ninja Stealth Super Ballerina Squat turn to move between the boxes. When you reach the last set of them, the cop in this area will probably be nearby, so wait for him to walk away and sneak into the open garage. Getting down to Saul\'s quickly is the key to doing the next part cleanly. Since the men are talking, you can sneak right up behind the close one at up to 3 clicks and dispose of him. Believe it or not, you can elbow him, then run over to his friend and elbow him while he\'s trying to draw his gun. For a less silly option, grab the closer thug, then quickly draw your gun, turn on the laser-sight, and shoot him. He will use Saul as a shield once he knows you\'re there, so be careful where you aim. Talk to Saul and grab all the stuff. If you talk to him again, it\'s time for an optional excursion. Optional Part 2- Basic training So the gun tutorial is in MISSION FOUR? I think most gamers are inquisitive enough that anybody capable of making it to mission 4 has probably already mastered the gun in missions 2. Anyway, follow Saul. Clear the outside area the same as you did coming in, then creep down the street. A cop will talk to a man in a doorway, then walk into yet another red-herring alley. If you really want, you can follow him in, split jump, then drop attack him, but there\'s little point. It\'s best to wait til he ducks into the alley to move down the sidestreet, because there\'s a surprising amount of light at the corner. Anyway, once you reach the next area, hop up on the wall and look down in the lit area to the right, in front of the church. You can see Dahlia pacing around waiting for you. Play with the gun for a while and a cop will show up. You can either drop him with the ring airfoil or sticky shocker as Saul suggests, or just walk up and bonk him, or even climb onto the rail to his right, run off and drop attack him. Alternatively, just leave him be and move on. Leave the way you came in. You can knock out Saul now, if you really want to. Part 3- Lots of very basic sneaking Out in the street, wait for the first guard to walk into the tiny alley. The lit window has an observer, so you\'ll either need to STAND and press against the opposite wall, or press against the close wall and Ninja Turn to get past him. Make sure the cop isn\'t looking, as, again, the corner is well lit. On the next street, an old woman will walk past. Just wait in a pool of shadow til she goes. The next corner is a little tricky. There\'s a nice, appealing pipe for you to climb. It will eventually lead you to place where you can drop down to a ledge, then into some guy\'s bedroom. If you look out the other window without being in the light, you can see a smoking man, who will eventually leave. The cops below will spot you unless you wait ample time for them to leave. So why bother? The easier way is to sneak down along the fence on the left, staying in the shadows. Wait for the cops to leave, and follow them down the street. Alternatively, shoot out the nearby streetlight and just sneak past these two while they\'re looking around for you. The next street is quite long, but there\'s plenty of shadows. Just be sure to hide in one when a cop stops, because it means he\'s about to turn back toward you. There\'s an alternate path around behind the church that I quite like to take, to avoid all the nasty light in front of it. There\'s also a ledge on the church you can get on to. From one corner, you can jump to a wire that takes you to an ledge, where you can shimmy around the corner to an extremely well-lit awning. You can shoot out the store sign that illuminates it, but generlly not without raising suspicion, and even then, there\'s nowhere to go but back down. Just keep an eye on all the cops, and stay in the shadows if any are near you, or have stopped walking away. It\'s not that hard, especially if you cut around behind the church. At the next area, ignore the interesting area to the right, and turn left. Check to make sure no guards behind you are looking, and creep forward. Sometimes this guard does turn and check behind him, but not often. Move through the light briskly, or shoot it out, and climb up the pipe. Go along the top of the church and slide down the wire. From here, you can rappel down to the ground off a pipe behind you. Part 4- My date with Dahlia Talk to Dahlia, and start following her. The only way to completely avoid calling any attention to yourself right here is to shoot out that big, bright streetlight. If you do it just as the two men take their seats, nobody will become alarmed. Now you can just hustle after Dahlia. If you don\'t mind a close-call, just go for it without shooting the light. They won\'t find you before you get into the safety of the further shadows. Next, as you approach the tunnel, shoot out the first light. Make sure you are far enough away from the last group of guys so they don\'t hear. Creep through the tunnel. Dahlia will be stopped by the cop ahead, and will lead him away so you can sneak past. You can take the guy out from behind if you want, or you can simply sneak way behind him. Sometimes he doesn\'t stop her. I don\'t know why. Alternatively, just let him see you enter the pool of light at the start of the tunnel. He will come to investigate, and you can either sneak past him or elbow him. The next area is pretty simple, despite its appearance. There\'s two guards, but one is so far off to the right that he\'s really no concern. Just be careful to stay on the edges of the area, and in shadow, and you\'ll get by easily. This brings us to the prayer wall. The only way past this completely cleanly is to press up against it, and use your Squat Turn at each gap. Useful move, isn\'t it? If only the split-jump were so useful. If you don\'t mind an alert, just crouch-run past the wall. The worshippers will become alarmed, but you can be safely gone and in shadow by the time anything comes of it. You do not seem able to sneak behind these guys. The first always detects you, usually when you\'re just getting behind him. Go figure. For fun, you can hop up on the low rock to the left, then leap over to the top of the wall, where you can creep in semi-shadow to the other end. It\'s really hard to pull off, since the jump is so noisy, but it\'s fun! The guard in the next room will eventually follow Dahlia away, and I\'m afraid you\'ll just have to wait. The room is too well lit for you to move through undetected. Depending where he\'s facing, you can sometimes get a bonk in, which might be easier. The next passage is, again, covered in shadows, so just move between them. Nothing fancy. The guards give you ample warning that they\'re about to turn by standing still. After that, Dahlia is stopped by another cop. This guy won\'t leave her be, so she\'ll eventually knock him out. You can either wait for that to happen, or knock the guy out with one of your projectiles. As a third way to knock him out, try climbing over the nearby awning and dropping behind him, and knocking him out yourself. The only way to spare him is to throw the nearby can down the alley before Dahlia does her thing. It\'s debatable whether or not you should count it against yourself when people are killed or KOed through no fault of yours, but I tried anyway. You can then hide in the shadows in the alley when he investigates, and then sneak past him when he goes back past your position. Part 5- Was that a threat? A guard near you will walk off down the alley. Wait until he turns off and walks out into the plaza. Sneak down the alley, then wait near the entrance to the next one. Yet another cop will emerge from it. Sneak past him into the alley. I know, I know it screams split-jump, but there\'s nothing to jump to. just go climb the pipe at the end like a good boy. Sneak through the apartment, the take the obvious path up and over the rooftops to the rappel point. No need to take out or ditract the guard talking to Dahlia. He\'ll let her pass. Alternatively, you CAN go through the plaza. Move to the right from where you start. You\'ll be lit up, but nobody should be close enough to see you. Snipe the light at the corner of the alley on the far side of the plaza, and all the lights on the furthest of the three lamp-posts. The guards will look around, but shouldn\'t find you. Now follow Dahlia\'s path. You\'ll have to be careful going through the tunnel, since much of it is well lit, but the end, where the cops should be, is dark. If Dahlia hasn\'t crossed the plaza, make sure you shot out the light by the target alley. Either way, as you and Dahlia approach the chainlink fence, another cop will appear. You can either let Dahlia talk her way past this one, or distract him with a can. Using a projectile to knock him out is always a valid option too, of course. Once he\'s gone, follow her into the building. It\'s a strange place. That big, elaborate scaffolding, the multiple stories, all empty, all unclimbable. There is some ammo and projectiles laying around. As you get in the elevator, Lambert will give you THE order. You do NOT have to follow it. If you haven\'t gotten this far in the game, and don\'t want spoilers, STOP READING NOW! I reccomend leaving a save file here, so you can try it both ways. Part 5- Clearing the sewer of rats Bad news. You can\'t avoid a fight here. The elevator doors make a noise when they open and you can\'t shoot out the lights. Instead, quickly snipe the first guy in the head before the door opens. Another guard will come, but if you killed the first before he got to say anything, you\'ll have a chance to cap #2 before he gets a shot at you. Theoretically, it\'s possible to snipe the first guy, shoot the light, and move into the shadowed archway before #2 arrives, but I haven\'t been able to do it. Even if you did it, the odds are #2 would bump into you in the arch anyway. A third guy will come running. You can move out to the catwalk, and either go right or left. From right, you can wait in the shadows for #3 to round the far corner, then tag him in the face. If you go left, crouch run all the way to the corner and press your back against the wall. #3 will run right past you, and you can avoid having to take him out. However, unless you clear the next two guys quickly, you may not have a choice. Down the steps The best stratgey here is to just snipe the next two guys in the face as they come into view. If you don\'t, one will walk past you and one will stand in the corner. You can actually sneak behind the guy in the corner, but don\'t seem to be able to grab him, oddly. It\'s so dark over here, that you can usually pretty safely shoot him from behind, then snipe anyone who heard the body drop. On to the next corner. Shoot out the light here if anybody behind you is alive, and get in the shadow near the corner pillar. Simply snipe the next guy in the head. There\'s no way to avoid it. He always either spots your most recent kill, or comes to investigate a broken light, and you can\'t shoot out the lower lights. And when he comes to check the lights, he can bring up to THREE guys with him. Just shoot him now. Turn left, but do it slowly, and stick to the right-hand side of the arch. Turn right, and sneak along the wall toward the hall. There\'s two guys, a medkit, and a bunch of toys in the room here. If you really want to, you can snipe one, then quickly mow down the other before he gets to fire back. However, it\'s safe to just ignore them, and there\'s no reason to take unnessecary risks. As you are about to enter the next tunnel, wait until the guard, if he\'s there, leaves the hall, and bring out your gun. If you\'re tyring to minimize kills, snipe all 3 lights. If not, just snipe one, then your friend, or just snipe him when he\'s in the hall to begin with. If you\'re sneaking past him, beware of broken glass, and press against the wall as he passes you. Go into the arch on the right. Depending on the timing, you should just barely be able to see a guard enter the room from the far side. Watch until he starts to leave, then enter, and scurry over to the objective as quick as you dare. If you want to kill that guard, you can snipe him through the lab. It\'s not glass, it\'s some sort of plastic. Plastic which probably shouldn\'t have holes in it. If you do shoot him, do it when he\'s as far from the door he entered as possible, lest you attract attention. Go back the way you came. If you left the hall guard alive, be aware that he\'ll most likely catch up with you again, but you can avoid him via the same method as before. Either way, make your way back to the hall where you sniped the lights. At the far end, you\'ll see a guard with his back to you. Grab him, and make your way down the hall, staying on the left. Go into human-shield mode, and shoot his friend, then either hop in the elevator, or shield-shoot the last two or three guys at the end of the hall, if you\'re feeling thorough. My best total for this part alone is 6 kills, 1 KO. I could probably convert most of those kills into KOs if I really wanted to, but I just wasn\'t feeling merciful today. Optional Part 6- Snipe Countersnipe This is the part you will play if you did NOT kill Dahlia. Shoot out the lights in the tunnel, and creep to the end. Look up high with your nightvision on, and you\'ll see her and another sniper facing you. She\'s armed now Sam. How\'s that? It might seem that you could maybe make your way through here without killing anybody, but they pick you out of the shadows pretty quickly. They are snipers after all. Take Dahlia down first. She\'s a much bigger threat than her friend. It is also possible to sticky shock her, though it\'s tricky. Fun to watch the treacherous minx twitch though. Once those two are down, move forward, and look up and to the left, from the safety of the shadows. You should see another sniper. Drop him. Number 4 is harder to get. He\'s on the opposite side of the courtyard, but there\'s no way to shoot him without letting him see you. If you\'re lucky, he\'ll miss his first shot, but even if he doesn\'t, you should be able to easily get the better of the exchange. Make for the small alley with a fence at the end to end the mission. Alternatively, you can just run to the exit. You\'ll get clipped, but you\'ll make it. Assuming you count Dahlia as a kill, this is the cleanest way to do the mission. My total of 9 enemies down comes from just running past her and her sniper buddies. Bonus points if you can grenade Dahlia. Optional Part 7- The worlds most well-lit plaza This part is so hard, it\'s a shame that it\'s technically the way you\'re SUPPOSED to go. When I was replaying to write this guide, I honestly couldn\'t remember how I got through here. I have managed to get through it cleanly, though. First, move quickly out of the elevator, down the tunnel, and to the right. The first guard should not see you. He will assume a position in the shadows with his back to you. You can bonk him if you want. Head under the scaffolding until you can see out in the open courtyard. You will see three guards. Eventually, they all assume a position looking away from the exit, but the closest one keeps twitching back in your direction. Across the plaza, you will see two small lights you can shoot out. One is very small, just above a brown door. The other is larger, and round, and to the right of the first one. This will set some guards on edge, but it\'s ok. Head back around under the scaffolding. If the first cop is still awake, use the whistle in the area of the scaffold to distract him. You need to go where he\'s looking. Creep around the corner of the building with the little steps and hand-rail, then straight back along the wall, then along the back wall, under the scaffold, then along the far wall, still behind the scaffold. Hold up where the strong shadows end. You will more than likely alert a few cops while doing this, but it\'s ok. They\'ll all be investigating where they saw you, which should be very far from where you are now. You are now a short distance from the exit, which is straight in front of you, along the wall to your left from here. You will find the route surprisingly dark, so it\'s just a matter of making sure no guards are nearby and looking directly at you. Eventually, they will stop looking for you, and assume permenant positions. You can move them around by shooting something. I don\'t think there\'s any more distructable lights, but you can ping the dumpster. That should draw their attention enough for you to get by. You really only need to make it past the sheet of corohated iron before they turn back. Beyond it, there\'s no light at all. Alternatively, after you drop the first, easy guard with an elbow, you could use the whistle to lure #2 and either evade-and-elbow him, or use up some of those sticky shockers and airfoils you\'ve been hording. The trouble is, it\'s very hard to seperate the last two guards using the whistle. However, you can solve this simply by sticky shocking or airfoiling both of them in VERY rapid succession, but this only works if both the other guards are down. You don\'t need to worry about the bodies. Personally, I find the whistle so hit-or-miss that sneaking by them was easier for me. MISSION 5- Drug refinery, Indonesia Tips- 1. Long grass can hide you fairly well from enemies. 2. Keep a close eye on your light-meter. The shadows in this level do a poor job of representing how dark an area is. 3. Shooting out lights is less useful here, because it\'s still light out. 4. You don\'t need to follow Sadona THAT closely. He\'ll always wait for you to catch up, so don\'t panic and rush if he gets away from you. Also, if he\'s nearby, ONE alert will pooch the mission, but if he isn\'t, you have THREE to play with. 5. The easiest way to snipe enemies through grass without standing is to target them using thermographics. My best- 1 soldier KOed Part 1- Insert grass joke here Let\'s assume you\'ve figured out how to start the mission, and have either rappelled or ziplined down into the weeds. An important note about the plants on this level; they will conceal you from prying eyes, but not if enemies get too close, or if you\'re too well lit. Move forward and into the shadows provided by the tent, and you\'ll see a guard in front of you. You can pretty much have your way with this guy. Just shoot him. Or, wait until he turns his back, and creep around the corner of the tent. Be advised that Sam\'s head will be exposed as you do this. Creep up through the shadows to where the bottles are. Your goal here is to go forward and left, behind the truck. The ideal time to do this is when the first guard is sitting on his bench, and #2 is walking away from you. The shed behind you has some ring airfoils, if you really want them. Once behind the truck, go to its other end, and wait until the nearest gaurd is moving away, if he\'s alive, and move out at a brisk pace. Your target spot is in the grass ahead, behind the white sandbags. It\'ll seem overly illuminated, but the grass helps to hide you. Two guards will discuss trip-wire traps. Eventually, one will walk away and the other will futz with a trip-wire, with explosive results. To those trying to get a clean game, I have bad news. You can\'t save this guy. Even if you distract him with a bottle or whistle before he dies, he\'ll eventually wander back into the tripmine and die, and you can\'t get to it to disable it fast enough with two guards alerted. One solution for this part is to let nature take its course, and then shoot the 2nd guard when he\'s trying to perform CPR on his friend. Alternatively, you can just sneak by him, if you stay in the grass to the left of the area, and sneak behind the leaves of the broken palm. Another way is to wait until #2 walks away, and shoot #1 with your choise of projectile JUST before he ″spreads himself too thin.″ You can save his life this way, if you\'re being anal about that kind of thing. I hit him in the head with a bottle, just because I had one with me. Of course, it\'s safe to assume that when he woke up groggy in a mine field, he didn\'t last too long, but hey, I\'m not his guardian angel. Anyway, if you do this, his friend will never have a reason to come back and look. Sneak through the grass, using thermo vision to spot the traps. You can avoid them in many cases just by sticking to the sides of the path, which you should do anyway to avoid guards. There\'s one more further ahead. Shoot him, or avoid him by pausing in the darker area of grass to his right. Once you\'re past him, you\'ll reach the plane. Part 2- The plane, boss, the plane **METHOD A- Up and over Sneak to the left, and up the ladder. Up here, you\'ll find a pole that you can use to cross the ceiling. However, you\'ll be spotted in the light coming through the holes in the roof. You can reduce the odds of this by shooting out the lights near the pole, but it\'s still pretty bright up there, and the guards will become alert. Actually, oddly the alertness helps you, because they don\'t seem to be looking up as much. Once you reach the other side, be careful sliding down the pole, as you may be spotted, and be sure to sneak again once you land. Sneak up to the plane under the wing and plant the bomb. Sam has to be able to stand to plant it, so if nothing happens, back up a little, or make sure you\'re not stuck under a wing-strut. **METHOD B- Around and behind Sneak in and to the left, but skip the ladder. The table here has a toy for you, if you want to risk detection for it (or if you already killed the guards.) Keep going around behind the plane to the big grey box. Jump up and grab the ledge, and pull up onto it, then drop off the other side. Sneak around through the boxes and you\'ll find yourself about by the pole used in method A. This is the easiest and stealthiest method, although you do have to keep an eye peeled for the patrolling guard. It\'s dark enough all \'round that he won\'t SEE you, but he might bump into you if you are careless. Sneak up to the plane under the wing and plant the bomb. Sam has to be able to stand to plant it, so if nothing happens, back up a little, or make sure you\'re not stuck under a wing-strut. **METHOD C- A work in progress I tried this just for grins, but I can\'t quite make it work... Stay in the doorway til the two guards seperate, and then sneak in and behind the close one. You can plant the bomb on this side of the plane too. The problem is that there\'s no stealthy way out of this position, unless you\'ve already taken out the first guard. He\'s looking in your direction, and eventually the other guard, AND the new arrival (see below) will come to join him. The best I could manage was to huck a grenade at them when they\'re all together. However you do it, a guard will arrive through the far door when you\'re done. Maybe you can ask him we we\'re going to plane-bomb a guy who\'s death will cause the use of biological weapons in US cities. Anyway, he shouldn\'t be a problem for you to sneak past. Part 3- The One Tower In the next room with guards, creep through the shadows on the right, near the boxes, and tuck yourself into the corner between the last box and the hut, with the plants. When they finish talking, the first guard will walk away, and the one in the hut will have his back to you. At 2 clicks, sneak past the open doorway, and then off toward the back wall. Be sure to keep a good distance from that damn flaming barrel. If you\'re prone to violence, just shoot the wandering guard when he\'s at the far end of the area, where you came in, then plug his friend when he comes to investigate. For a stealthier solution, move so that you can JUST see the light inside the guard- house. You can NOT shoot it through the wire mesh windows. Snipe it when the wandering guard is far away, and quickly move back to the position with the plants, next to the boxes. Both guards will start looking around. Sneak into the guard house and raise the barrier. Sneak back out quickly. The lights in front of the guard house are a bit of a bother, depending where the two guards go while looking for you. This is largely where luck comes into it. If they don\'t cooperate, just wait a while for the coast to clear. The barrier does not seem to be on a timer. Once you make it past the barrier, head quickly down the path, and duck behind the sheet of metal on the left to hide from the guard with the dog. In the next section, veer right. You will see two guards patrol. Keep going around to the right, disabling the trip-mines in the grass as you do so. Eventually, one guard will go into a tent to lie down. For some reason, if you don\'t go around back that way, he doesn\'t lie down. Now you just have two guards to deal with. Sneak back around the the grass, and in through the back of the first tent you saw. Eventually, a guard will walk past. Sneak out and grab him. Don\'t bonk him, or shoot him, because he stays near the tower, and the tower guard will hear. Drag him some- where out of sight, and drop him. Now simply snipe the tower guard, from somewhere far away from the sleeping guard, and make your escape. You can snipe him with an airfoil or shocker if you\'re careful. Alternatively, from the back grassy area, retreat to the wall, and shoot out the lantern on the fence from point blank range. Now, snipe the tower guard. Alas, there\'s no way around taking him out. Now snipe the explosive barrel to the right of the truck on the far side of the area. This wakes both guards, and they run over to investigate, allowing you time to sneak to the tower and escape over the zipline. Move quickly, though! They won\'t keep their backs turned forever. Part 4- Trailing Sadono Move forward, and duck in the shadows to hear the conversation. There\'s two ways to go here. One is to follow Sadono, and the other is through a tunnel under the hall he takes. Either way, just wait where you are, until the courtyard is down to one guard. He will eventually walk off toward the other end of the area, and this is your cue to follow him. Alternatively, just shoot him when he\'s in a nice, shady area. Keep the billowing smoke between you and the hall Sadono took, so the guard there can\'t see you. When you reach the barrel, quickly duck under the deck. If you are seen, then you probably either took too long getting there, or moved from behind the barrel too quickly. It\'s tricky to time, but it\'s the only way to get by without messing with any guards. If you want to go down the hall, you\'ll have to drop the guard in it, so you really might as well drop the first guard too. You CAN reach him without taking out #1, if you want, by shooting out the nearby lantern from a safe distance, then sneaking up there and hiding in the corner just before the hall with your back against the wall. You can now follow the hall guard and bonk/grab/shoot him. However, for maximum stealth, just take the tunnel as I described above. At the end, you\'ll see Sadono again. If you took the tunnel, use your thermo vision to make sure the guard above you is gone, and follow Sadono through the next empty area. Soon, you\'ll be told about having to use your sticky-cam to record a conversation. However, it\'s not the conversation going on in front of you. There\'s a sticky-cam to your right, if for some reason you\'re out of them. Once Sadono leaves, it\'s safe to snipe the guy in front of you. Whistling, then evading and elbowing works well too, but we can get buy without perturbing him in the slightest. Turn left, and make for the gap between the building. There\'s a bright light just at the corner, and you must ROLL (hit crouch while moving quickly) to get past without being seen. Split-jump up and go through the window. Once inside, be sure to hit the crouch button again, to go back into sneak mode. Move very slowly at the bottom of the stairs, as there\'s a squeaky board down here. There\'s a guard to the left watching TV with his back to you. There are 3 ways out of here to the next section, but I won\'t bother describing them, since none of them involve guards or obstacles. Just get there. Sadono and his guard will go through a hut. Either follow them, or stand and press against the side wall to get by. It doesn\'t matter which you choose. In the next area, you will have to shoot a sticky cam at sadono, and listen to his conversation. Don\'t fire it TOO close to him, you\'ll hear it land. Once you\'ve got the code, start creeping to the back, right corner of the area, in front of you, along the shadowed wall. You\'ll find a pipe with a spotlight pointing right at it. Wait until the enemies have walked fairly far away, and shoot it. Scale the pipe. There\'s a lot of lights up here, but you won\'t need to shoot them. Just hug the wall, and stop in the squarish-shadow (being cast by one of the rugs) at the end. You can shoot out the last lantern if you want. Nobody will find you, though the will be curious. Or you can wait until the wandering guard isn\'t look, and sneak by. Ahead, you have your choice of dropping into the area from the left or right. I reccomend right, since left is lit up like a Christmas tree. The only other way through the last area is to take out two guards and a dog. You can lure/elbow the first one easily enough, but you will have to snipe the second guard and the dog. It\'s messy. Note that you can\'t move dog corpses. Anyway, let\'s assume you trusted me, and took the high road. While Sadono is talking, drop down, and put the boxes between you and the guards. One will start patrolling. Keep theboxes between you and him, as this area is quite well lit. As he turns back away from you, sneak around the perimeter of the area, in the relative darkness, until you get behind the trucks. From here, wait for the patroller to come back, and leave again, then sneak behind the boozing guard, and to the ladder. Again, there\'s no alternate way though here unless you take
